CANIFF PANELS

A new auction catalog by Heritage is up on their site for the comic & comic art auction they're holding in August. It contains a Caniff bounty of 17 original strips. Rather than post a few or them all, and to whet your appetite for the new CANIFF art book, I picked out some choice panels for reader enjoyment...

6/1/1939. A great thing about originals is seeing Caniff's strip titles in the upper right.

9/20/1938

7/6/1940

4/18/1946

2/9/1958

Something you don't see too often. Late-model Caniff from 4/25/1978.7/27/47. Happy Easter stating a Caniff philosophy akin to the Pilot's Creed strip of four years previous.
